To say that 2005 has been kind to former soldier-type-man turned 'singer' (come on, he really can't, sing that is) James Blunt is like saying Carling looks and tastes like piss: a whopping understatement. So, we shouldn't be too surprised to learn that Blunt is playing some mega-sized shows next summer, in addition to his February tour of the UK and Ireland (if you want details for that, um, go away).
The 'You're Beautiful' sensation drags his single albums' worth of 'hits' to the following large houses in the summer. Ticket prices are, well, stupid, frankly.
June 2006
30 Leeds Harewood House (£37.50 a ticket)
July 2006
1 Oxford Blenheim Palace (£40.00)
2 Maidstone Leeds Castle (£37.50)
Tickets are available from here, although we advise anyone wanting to book tickets to go here first, and take a good look at track 12.

*cough splutter*
thats more expensive than the Girls Aloud tour!!
!
that picture is legendary!
I dunno
£37.50's a fair price to gift someone to get them to go to a James Blunt gig.
That picture is something special though :D
hahaha
sure thats the first gig thats proabaly ever been listed on here for maidstone (except maybe some up c down c gigs?) and its james blunt
40 quid hahahahaha!!!!
a link to anal cunt was the best thing ever
'You're Pregnant So I Kicked You in The Stomach' is one of the best grind songs EVER though.
That link...
was a masterstroke.
hmmm
he reminds me of someone else in that picture...
You've got a fair old obsession with Blunt-related articles...
...considering how much you don't like him.
Well...
it's at June so someone would have bound to have shot him by then...
The venues
A 'House', a 'Palace', and a 'Castle'?!
The jokes write themselves, really.
I think what we're looking for is...

Taking the "piss"
So wot exactly does piss taste like? Or more to the point, how do you know whether piss & Carling don't taste the same?
Tickets are NOT available "here" as Ticketweb isn't selling tickets for the dates above. Tsk, tsk, tsk! Any decent journalist gets his facts straight before going to print or uploading...
New Tour
OMG! i never new he was doing a tour in june, i've just done a little research and he's doing stirling castle too. I really don't know what you lot of wingers are going on about though, i mean you don't stay in the top 5 albums for over 20 weeks if your as crap as you say he is. I think someones jealous! (a lot of you actually!)
haha
I think you are satan and that turgid fat arse you're draggin around with you is "all your little helpers"
You deserve the worst kind of arse-cancer that an angry God can muster.
Fuck Off.
Q and A
"so what exactly does piss taste like"
Your mum's vaginal juices.
Don't try and get pity by sayin she's dead either...cus that's how i get my kicks.
Wierdos
You are an absolute wierdo, a real nutter. God get a life!
Erm
Why cover this story if you don't care, and you think no one else will care?
Coz
it's fun to take the piss out of him stupid. It's also fun to see what fake accounts or first posts are inspired out of taking the piss out of him.
Jesus.
You could see the Stones for nearly the same price.
uumm have you seen the prices for Rolling Stones tickets?
cheapest is £60 going up to £150.
Yeah?
he did say nearly!
The cheapest Stones ticket available for the most recent set of dates was £40. The most expensive Blunt ticket is £40.
£40 isnt representative of Stones ticket prices overall but you get the point.
this is already known by all of you...
...but I think it's safe to say that James Blunt may be one of the worst things to hit modern music in a long time.
forty quid is
some fuckin' steep wanker tax... I know three people at my wurk who will still go... krist.
parents
My Dad initially liked James Blunt. He is a 52 year old man - let him off. He now hates him due to the constant barraging of mediocrity - my Dad doesnt hate anyone who isnt French.
My mum likes him, she says he has "nice songs". When quizzed she changed her story to "he has a nice song". When I had spoken to her for 5 minutes in a very condescending way, she conceded "Ok, he isnt very good" ... "but he has a nice song".
Don't worry, I gave up respecting my mum ages ago - the day she cheated to beat me at scrabble (though thats a different story).
I can't actually believe anyone can seriously like James Blunt and sleep at night. If you are reading this and disagree with me then :
a) You are living in a fantasy world where you survive off medium sliced white bread, tap water and misery.
b) You should check these people out as they are all similar (well, relatively) and infinitely better:
Elliott Smith
Beck
Ben Lee
Tom Waits (1973-1980 period)
Willy Mason
Joanna Newsom
I'll stop there, I don't want to overload your small brains.
c) Buy the Nizlopi single and make it christmas number #1. Though you are all probably buying the X-Fucker single so don't worry.
I hate you all as much as James Blunt.
